00:00When you say, I'm not crazy about dealing with you guys, what does that refer to?
00:17Well, you've said you don't especially like the press conference format.
00:23Yet that seems to be the obviously the most widely used means of communicating
00:28to the media and through the media to the public.
00:33That's interesting. Um, I would say the occasion like when to do the press
00:40conferences, what I feel is the most difficult, but
00:44sorry, I'm thinking. I think we can move on to the next question. Naomi,
01:10do you want to move on to the next question? Um, no, I'm actually very interested in
01:15that like point of view. I mean, for me, I feel like this is something that
01:25I can't, I can't really speak for everybody. I can only speak for myself. But ever since I was
01:33younger, I've had a lot of media interest on me. And I think it's because of my background as well.
01:40As you know how I play. Because in the first place, I'm a tennis player. That's why a lot of
01:47people are interested in me. So I would say in that regards, I'm quite different to a lot of
01:53people. And I can't really help that there are some things that I tweet or some things that I
02:00say that kind of create a lot of news articles or things like that. And I know that it's because
02:06I've won a couple grand slams. And I've gotten to do a lot of press conferences that
02:13these things happen. But I would also say like, I, I'm not really sure how to balance it to like,
02:24I'm figuring it out at the same time as you are, I would say.
02:36Hello, Naomi. Hopefully, it's okay if I ask a couple of tennis questions. The first one is just
02:45how the training has been and how your preparation has been for the for the summer hardcourt swing.
02:50And the second one is just related to your tweet over the weekend,
02:54related to what's going on in Haiti. And, and yeah, just what your reaction is to the news
03:01there. Thank you. Um, sorry. No, you're super good.
03:06Okay, I think we're just going to take a quick break. Just we'll be back in one moment.
